I desperately want my husband to want to quit smoking?!
Question: I now I can't control what he does. I also know nagging and begging won't help. Has anyone had an experience that made them want to quit that I could orchestrate or tell him about? I quit 2 years ago so I could conceive as soon as we wed. I am pregnant with our 2nd baby and want him to quit soooooooo badly. HELP!!

I have been having an issue over this with my G/F, except I am the smoker. The only solution she has came up with is nagging, and trust me, that does not make me want to quit. My best suggestion would be to sit him down, and explain the damage it would do to you and the kids if he died from lung disease. Also tell him you want to grow old together and live a LONG, happy life. Also, maybe try asking him to put a pic of your first child in his pack of smokes, along cessation gums, or maybe drugs? I hear they work wonderfully.
i know that i am only 15 and you probobally wont take me seriously
but my parents tried to quit and my moms is on a " lets stop smoking" pill and i have heared of people personally who it has worked on and what you do is smoke and take the pill and you progresivally stop smoking as much while taking the pill eventually stop smoking.
i have also heared of the " just stop" method where you bluntly just stop smoking one day and just see how long you can do it.
BUT DONT doo the phsycic method. that is just plain stupid is will do nothing for wither of you.
but personally i know how you feel and with a child on the way i could see how you wouldnt want himm growing up with a smoke full enviroment, but if you husband wont quit i would reccomend that he smokes in a desiganted area while he is not near you or the kids maybe the garage or bathreooom or bed room.
but i would continue to talk to him abhout it and explain to him how you feel and hopefullly you 2 can find a happy medium.
Ask him nicely to quit.If he doesn't.Divorce his smoke smelling butt.
Divorce him if he doesn't listen. Marry a drunk; divorce him if he don't stop, Marry a gambler; divorce him. See a pattern here. You're now old and alone and nobody wants a controlling bi**h. Happens every day.
Good answer from.........Jason S
I agree with Jason. I smoked 3 packs a day for 27 years & tried to quit innumerable times.
The social habit & the nicotine is as addictive as any drug. The cigarette seems a "friend" to the smoker because 30 minutes after a smoke you start to feel "down" and "lowsy" and taking a drag restores the "good" feeling. The smoker does not realize that the "down" is caused by that last smoke. He worries that if he quits, he will go around all day dying for a smoke. The truth is that once you quit the body will resume its job of making you feel good. A job it quit because the nicotine was doing the work.
Drugs,etc. that help you beat the nicotine addiction are good, but I strongly recommend he join a group program where he reports in weekly. The feeling that you're not alone, that others are also doing it, is very helpful.
I cured myself and I bet you can cure yourself too from this bad habit with this product I found out:
